Rocket slams into Israeli hospital and supermarket in new wave of strikes from Gaza - as Benjamin Netanyahu posts horrifying image of blood-soaked child's bed and labels Hamas 'worse than ISIS'

Hamas launched a fresh wave of rocket attacks in Israel this afternoon, destroying a children's hospital and a supermarket.

Shocking footage from the southern city of Ashkelon shows the Barzilai Medical Centre in ruins with the children's wing taking a direct hit.

Pictures also show the remains of a supermarket in the city, surrounded by debris and marked by a large crater.

The strikes were among many launched by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, who targeted multiple locations across the country.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later shared a harrowing image of a child's bed with its sheets soaked in blood, along with the caption: 'Hamas is worse than ISIS.'

Israeli airstrikes demolished entire Palestinian neighbourhoods on Wednesday as hospitals struggled to treat the injured with dwindling medical supplies.

This afternoon Gaza's two million residents lost electricity as the enclave's sole power plant ran out of fuel and shut down.

The outage deepens the crisis inside the 140-square-mile territory, with Israeli forces lining up on the border ahead of a planned invasion.

The war has claimed at least 2,200 lives on both sides and is only expected to escalate further from this point. Humanitarian groups have pleaded for the creation of aid corridors ahead of the likely Israeli assault.

As fears mounted inside the enclave of an imminent assault, an Israeli defence official vowed that Gaza will become a 'tent city' with every building razed.

In the early hours, Israeli forces conducted 250 airstrikes in just one hour across northern and eastern parts of the Gaza strip in revenge for Hamas' terror attacks.

Why is there gun blast on the wall 5 feet above the bed?

That's not gun blast, it's bomb debris......

They’re both failed states. Hezbollah militias are strong there.

I wasn’t discounting Hezbollah, just uniformed troops.
Assad is still in control of Syria, against our tries.
I can’t say I know much about the legitimacy of Lebanon’s government.
